I was told I would have 3 incisions, one in my belly button and two more small ones. When I got home I realized I have 5 incisions all above my belly button. Anyone else????

Yea i had six in my belly,hope u feel better

yep i have 5 too. largest one at port site. 11 days out n still alittle swollen at port site.

Didn't get sutures, they used dermabond instead. Nothing like good ole super glue.... Lol

Be carefull with that when i had my gallbladder out that is what they used and it didnt heal properly. I could stick a finger in the scar!!!

same here all above the belly button

I've got 5 as well.

Ok so seems standard! Cool! Thanks!

If you had a hernia, sometimes additional small holes are needed for the repair and to get the right angle for repairing.

I have five; three little ones and two larger ones. All are grouped to my left side (thankfully, so I can sleep on my right side currently). They are pretty high up, too, nowhere near my belly button. It is funny how surgeons go in differently, isn't it? You'd think our stomachs would all be accessed by the same areas.

I have 5 incisions total...

(1 above my belly button which is where they put the port and it's about an 1 1/2 inches) one is right below my ribs which is about a 1/4 inch which is where they put the liver retractor, then 3-1/2 inch incisions (2) on the right side of my port (1) on the left

I have 5 also. One high up near my sternum, one large one a little above my belly button, one to the right and 2 to the left....

They used steri strips instead of stitches or glue.

Did they actually tell you that? Or are you going based on what you see? I have 5 incisions. They were held together by internal dissolvable stiches and fill with dermabond to close nicely and the larger ones were held together with stri strips for extra closure.

I have one...it's in my belly button
